Time passed bit by bit, and everyone climbed higher and higher.
Shangguan Liuyun, who was in first place, had already reached the 85th step. His hands were no longer behind his back, but his entire body was suffused with spiritual light. He walked up step by step. It was clear that the pressure of eight times was not easy for him.
The person in second place was far behind him. Duan Fei stood on the 71st step, his handsome face covered in sweat. He gritted his teeth and looked at the figure in front of him. Once again, he moved his feet with difficulty.
Jiang Yulong, who was following closely behind him, panted heavily. He said hatefully, "I will definitely reach there before you!"
…
Lin Xuan stood on the 55th step. He had already absorbed a lot of the power of thunder and lightning. The spiritual power in his body had turned into a bluish color, and from time to time, electric arcs would flash.
Crackle!
A small portion of the power of thunder and lightning exploded in Lin Xuan's hand, shaking his arm until it was numb.
"As expected of one of the most violent powers in the world!" Lin Xuan rubbed his arm. He had just merged with it and could not fully control it.
"When I finish the 99th step of the stone platform, I should be able to convert all the spiritual power in my body into the power of thunder and lightning," Lin Xuan said with a smile. The spiritual power in his body was now abundant.
"Lin Xuan …" Just as he was about to reach the 56th step, a weak voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Eh, it's you!" Lin Xuan turned around. "I realized that it's actually that shy girl, Yin Qingyi, behind me."
Yin Qingyi wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand and said softly, "Hurry up and go. I can do it myself."
Lin Xuan smiled. "Do your best. I believe that you will catch up to me soon!" With that, he stepped onto the 56th step and closed his eyes again.
When he opened his eyes again, he realized that Yin Qingyi was standing at the side and secretly watching him.
"Ah! You're awake, "Yin Qingyi said with a red face.
"Mm, let's go." Lin Xuan stepped onto the next step again. Yin Qingyi, who was beside him, followed suit.
After a few times, Lin Xuan realized that Yin Qingyi was always in sync with him. It was not strenuous at all. Although Lin Xuan was walking slowly, he was now able to quickly absorb and digest the tiny blue electric arcs after so many fusions. His current speed had left many people behind, but Yin Qingyi was still able to keep up with him.
Lin Xuan smiled and stepped onto the next stone step with her. By the time he reached the 79th stone step, more than 90% of Lin Xuan's spiritual energy was of the lightning attribute. At this time, most of the people in front of him had already passed.
When the first person successfully passed, the first stage would enter a countdown. After two hours, it would end. The other disciples who had already passed the level were sitting on top of the mountain to rest, and they were looking at the disciples who were still climbing with a proud expression.
"Look, it's that Lin Xuan. He actually dares to challenge Senior Brother Jiang Yulong!" Among the disciples below, Lin Xuan received the most attention.
"He's only climbed to the 79th step now. Looks like his strength isn't that great?" Many people were puzzled.
Lin Xuan ignored those people and stepped onto the 80th step.
In the next moment, his body shook. A golden electric arc drilled into his body, causing the blue electric arcs to riot.
"Not good!" Lin Xuan's expression changed. He could clearly sense the power contained in this golden electric arc. It was much stronger than all the blue electric arcs that he had merged with before.
If he was not careful, he could be consigned to eternal damnation!
"Quick, look at that trash's face. Haha, I'm dying of laughter!" Many disciples of the Shen Wei Group pointed at Lin Xuan and laughed.
He had just reached the 80th step and he was already like this. They reckoned that Lin Xuan would not be able to finish the rest of the stone steps. Many disciples shook their heads.
At the top of the mountain, other than Shangguan Liuyun who was sitting alone with his eyes closed, everyone else was staring at the disciples below. Jiang Yulong looked at Lin Xuan with disdain. What a piece of trash. He didn't even have the right to make me attack.
Tang Yu stared anxiously. Her big eyes flashed. "This can't be. How can this bastard be so weak?"
When she saw Yin Qingyi beside Lin Xuan, she could not help but pout and snort.
"Are, are you okay?" Yin Qingyi saw that Lin Xuan's face was pale. She used her hand to tug at the corner of Lin Xuan's clothes. In the next moment, a faint golden electric current rushed towards her and quickly touched her small hand.
"Ah!" Yin Qingyi cried out softly. The tip of the long sword in her hand was pointed downwards. Countless strange runes quickly formed around her, transmitting the golden electric current to the ground.
All these things happened in an instant. The other disciples did not notice at all. Even if they did, they would not care. Who would care about a disciple who could only stop at the 80th step?
However, above the clouds, there were a few figures sitting cross-legged. One of them was the middle-aged man in purple robes. He suddenly opened his eyes and frowned. "The thunder and lightning of Thundercloud Mountain seems to be a little violent."
"Violent? What violent? Lei Yunzi, you are too sensitive. How could those little guys below cause such a disturbance in Thundercloud Mountain? "The figure beside him said. He was also a middle-aged man, but he had a small mustache.
Lei Yunzi used his consciousness to scan again. He did not find anything unusual. Only then did he dispel the doubts in his heart.
Lin Xuan, who was below, slowly opened his glasses. A golden light flashed across his eyes. It was too dangerous just now. The golden electric arc almost exploded in his body. However, he managed to suppress it in the end.
"The power of thunder and lightning behind is too violent. With your current strength, it's best not to absorb it anymore." Wine Lord reminded.
"Okay." Lin Xuan nodded secretly. The spiritual power in his body had completely transformed into the thunder and lightning attribute. There was also a trace of golden light. Its power was twice as strong as before.
"I didn't hurt you just now, did I?" Lin Xuan looked at Yin Qingyi apologetically.
Yin Qingyi shook her head. Suddenly, her expression changed slightly. "Oh, it's almost time!"
"Then let's go!" Lin Xuan said.
The two of them began to climb with all their might. However, Lin Xuan had merged with the thunder and lightning of Thundercloud Mountain. The pressure did not affect him at all. Although Yin Qingyi walked slowly, it did not seem to be strenuous.
"Are you a Sword Array Master?" Lin Xuan looked at Yin Qingyi's strange sword technique and asked.
"Yes." Yin Qingyi still held her sword in a reverse grip. The tip of the sword was pointed downwards. A translucent sword array formed around her, enveloping the two of them.
"This can transfer the pressure to other places." Yin Qingyi explained.
The two of them walked at a leisurely pace. It did not seem like a test at all. It was more like a couple taking a stroll.
Finally, before the time was up, the two of them stepped onto the last step and passed the test.
"Hmph! They wasted so much time. What a waste! "Some of the disciples of the Divine Might Group said disdainfully.
"I advise some people to get lost. They came up so late. I'm afraid they can't pass the second stage."
